History
800 A.S
The Nightmare Squad under the command of Commander Shemar Reid, were an Liberty Navy Division. The Nightmare Squad were attached to Drake Thastus command, they looked upon Thastus's with awe and treated his order's as law. They never doubted him when he told them his plan and thought's about what was happening in Liberty, they would gladly follow him and Commander Reid to the depth's of Hell and back again.
That year Commodore Thastus was accused on bogus charges of sedition, mutiny and half a dozen other offences. He and his crew were ordered to surrender. Thatus called to his friend's, who reponded immediately to aid him. The fight began with the Navy and Thastus ordered the retreat rather than doom his crew and friends.
The Nightmare Squad, were captured in the escape from Liberty in 800 A.S.during which they fought a delaying action though not an overall factor it helped delay a portion of the pursuing Liberty Navy, while the Battleship Nevada along with the rest of its escort fought its way out of Liberty Space. They threw themselves upon the Liberty Navy, the squadron numbered sixty Heavy fighters and ten Bomber's. They fought undaunted even when they saw their fellow Wolves fall and it gave them more strength against the overwhelming number's of Liberty Navy fighters. During the battle they destroyed five to every ship they lost, this and previous event's gained them a reputation for courage, skill and recklessness. What helped was also a sudden appearance of Lane Hacker's, who then engaged the Navy fleet thus giving more chance of escape.
Once the Battleship Nevada had escaped, they had known their own fates were sealed with any escape cut off and their number's dwindling. Their Commander Shemar Reid ordered them to stand down and surrender, it was by far the hardest order he had to give, but he was safe in the knowledge that his friend and patron had escaped.
Their trial was a mere formality, they were found guilty of mutiny but the sentence of death was revoked due to pressure from Liberal elements within the Liberty Goverment. That same Goverment recognised their previous deeds of valour and courage during the war with Rheinland elements and other rogue elements within Liberty space. Their sentence was imprisionment with no parole and so they were sent to LPI Huntsville, their confinement was far more than people could imagine. Placed in cryo-stasis with their minds trapped in a endless dream in which they could never awaken from, weaker minds would have closed upon themselves and shrunk from the horror's that the mind could produce. As time passed, Liberty and history forgot about them, their deed's, their name's and their lives they had led.

Present day
Their escape was a stroke of luck, fate was once again shining upon them and as usual they took the advantage. During an attack by the Liberty Rogues to help free some of their pilots, some of the station's power relay's were damaged. The resulting power loss to the cryo-stasis chamber's, brought the hibernating pilots back to the conscious world. The break out by the Liberty Rogue's was working, with the gaurds pre-occupied trying to hold the tide, they seized the opportunity. Mixing in with the general chao's of the rioting prison, they managed to get to the docking hatch and after a brief fight with the Rogue's. They commandeered the cargo ship they had fought over and Reid took control of the ship while the rest of the Squad took to the gun turrets. As they un-docked they came under fire from both Rogue's and the Stations weapon turrets, Reid engaged the cruise engine and with some skillful piloting managed to get them away to safety. As they left the area an explosion ripped through the section housing their stasis chamber's, fate smiled once again. Reid checked his scanner's picking up on a ship that seemed to be traversing the Texas debris field. Turning the ship to follow the strange vessel, the ships scanner's picked up a station deep within the field. There they managed to gain counterfeit I.D's from dispicable sources...the station was a Junker base called Beaumont Station..the I.D's would let them pass as civilian's, the ship they had commandeered they sold and bought a smaller swifter cargo ship.
They realised that finding their former comrades was going to prove difficult, as none of them knew where to look. Reid sent his men out into Liberty, they offered their services out as escort pilots to civilian freighter's. This would allow for them to move thorugh Sirius without suspicion and look for their families and friends. Sirius had changed through their incarceration, it had expanded futher than they could hope to travel. News of Gallia, the war's, the battle's that were fought through-out Sirius and still this knowledge did not disuade them from finding their loved one's. In Magellan, Reid came across a pilot on Freeport IV, the pilot claimed he knew a system where the Legendary Drake Thastus and his followers had settled.
Shemar Reid sent out a call to his men, to make their way to his location. Several days later, with the pilot in tow and his men ready. They set off through Wendell Ice Field to find the jump hole to the mysterious system, that the pilot said held the key to their past. They found the system, on entering it they were surrounded by fighters and a battleship the likes they had never seen. The Nightmare's were taken aboard the Dreadnought Ravager and after DNA testing, questioning...they were reunited with their loved one's.
Shemar Reid met his son for the first time, his wife had been several month's pregnant on the day that he had been captured and looking at his son Logan, he saw himself but only five years younger. He turned to his son and asked him where his mother was, Logan looked pained and told the story of the attack on Fort Leniex, how his mother had been on the decks that the Lane Hacker's had destroyed. In their attempt to rest control of Vespucci from the Squad, he told him that the Hacker's had paid with their lives for that assault. To hear of the loss of Drake Thastus to the Navy during the war over Califonia hit him hard, to die helpless wasnt how he had seen his old friend dying. He wept at all the news, embracing his son and vowed vengance on the years he had lost, the Navy would pay for the execution of his friend Drake Thastus and the Hacker's for the death of his wife.
Over the following week's the Nightmare's were shown around Vespucci, they went down to see the growing installations on planet Guadalajara. The mines providing the system with ore and materials for the construction of ships and expansion of their station's. Reid saw in all this work, his friend's hand in it all and it was a pity that they couldn't have met one last time. But looking, Reid could see the future and so he spoke to people and gathered support. He would see the Nightmare Legion reborn, they would take the fight to the enemy. After afew weeks he called his men to meet on Dreadnought Ravager, he set out the goals of the Hellfire to his
men....those same goals were their own. They would make Liberty bleed a river of blood for what they had done. So they re-formed the Legion but this took time as all things do, raising funds was no easy task to outfit the current and the recruited pilots from the population of Vespucci. When they were ready, the squadron would begin and be a plague upon Liberty.

Plan's for the future.
Stephen and Joey had approached Reid regarding further development of Planet Guadalajara, regarding its resources and surface. While most of the surface of planet was or is hostile, afew enclaves of hospitable land were available for agricultural development. Scans revealed an abundance of fertile soil and deeper probes revealed large pocket's of ore. Both of them agreed this would take considerable effort and work to mine, but the ore could help drive forward further development of Vespucci as awhole. As for the agriculture on the planet. It could in all produce an abundance of food and also put a stop to dependancy on outside supplier's or Bio-domes. Reid for the time being put this project on the backburner, until the Legion could find the manpower and resources to move forward.
